Arthur Jones built 4-1/2 reps in the chin-up in a 280 pound football player without the ability to do any reps or even a forced negative, in 12 days.

For someone who can't do a single pullup, It's a good idea to warm up REALLY well when doing these, unless you like DOMS. In fact, use a chair to stand on so you don't have to jump up. It would be like having someone bench something beyond their max, and forcing them to catch the weight by dropping it on them.

You'll start to notice that you can really slow down your descent. For me, I realized I could descend in 15 seconds, and went ahead and tried it. Sure enough, a pullup. Once you get that magical "one", it's easier to progress from there.

[hamza1991]

so how long after doing negatives can you actually try to attempt a pull up?

[samurphy]

Forced negatives are excellent for any muscle group. Trying to slow an elongating muscle is more effective at building than the normal contracting under load. Walking down a hill for a long time makes my quads sore the next day, while walking on flat or uphill does not. Same thing, you're trying to slow you're downward momentum as your quads are elongating in the latter portion of your stride.
